The Silk Road
Few destinations in the world conjure up more dramatic or romantic images than the name “Silk Road.” That 4,000-mile-long network of ancient caravan trails was responsible for more than a flow of goods from China through India, Persia, Arabia, and Greece to the Roman and Byzantine empires and back. It also served as a bridge for an interchange of cultures, religions, and technologies for some 1,600 years. You can still travel much of the route today, thanks to a number of tour operators who help bring history to life.
